CIRCULAR

It has been observed that the entire lot of contractual functionaries deployed in this
office are attending office irregularly at their own will. They are also not following the
normal working hours prevalent in this office i.e. from 9:30 A.M to 6:00 P.M and some
people come quite late and leave early. This obviously interrupts normal and smooth
functioning of the Divisions and results in huge pendency almost everywhere. This sort of
situation sometimes causes embarrassment to senior officers when various important
issues concerning CDSCO are reviewed by the Ministry as CDSCO has to playa very
important and proactive role in the prevailing crisis that has arisen due to COVID-19
pandemic. It is important to note that the Ministry of Home Affairs vide its consolidated
guidelines dated 15.04.2020 has clarified that offices of Health and Family Welfare and its
autonomous/subordinate offices will have to function without any restrictions and as such,
the orders issued by the Deptt. of Personnel and Training and Deptt. of Expenditure laying
down various guidelines for the Govt. staff to combat the said pandemic are not applicable
to that Ministry and the Autonomous/Subordinate offices functioning under it.

2. In the circumstances, it has been decided that the contractual functionaries shall
with immediate effect start attending office as per usual working hours on 05-day week
basis as was the practice before the lockdown was imposed by the Govt. Those not
complying with these instructions will not be paid full remuneration and remuneration will
be deducted for each day of their absence as was the practice earlier.
